Uptake of Hypobromous Aide (HOBr) by Aqueous Sulfuric Acid Solutions: Low-Temperature Solubility and Reaction

摘要

Halogen species are known to catalytically destroy ozone in many regions of the atmosphere. Bromine is the dominant halogen responsible for the near-total loss of ozone at ground level in high-latitude springtime, and it participates in approximately 25% of the stratospheric ozone depletion observed in Antrarctica in the springtime. In addition to direct catalytic losses, bromine compounds can indirectly enhance ozone loss through coupling to other radical families.
